Denniss Livestock Branch Ontario Department of Agri- . , culture and Food Toronto, Ontario Litter size is one of the most important factors influencing re- turns and profit from a swine enterprise. Many, producers, however, look upoif litter size as something over which they .have no control. They attribute kood-sized litters to "luck". However, the',producer 'has con- trol over a 'number of factors which can influence litter size. • Crossbred sows have proven to farrow and wean 8 to 10 per cent (one per litter) more pigs than do straight-bred sows. Thereforer-sows should be cross= bged to obtain the maximum advantage from a crossbreeding program. Gilts should not be' bred until the second or third heat period, at which time they. will be seven ,to eight months of age. Research has shown that this will result in one, or two' more pigs, per litter than if they were bred on the first heat period. For maximum conception and' litter • Size, sows should be bred twice; once during the first day that the sow is in standing heat, and again the following morn- ing. If a sow in bred only once, it should be on the second diy. of standing heat. Although there are differ- ences within breeds, there are also differences in the number of eggs ovulated by the sow. In general the Yorkshire, Landrace and Lacombe breeds, and crosses of these breeds, ovulate more eggs and consequently have big- ger littersthan do the colored breeds. Many producers attribute ' small• litter size to the boat. Although some boars may be infertile and may fail to settle any,,sows, very few boars affect litter size significatnly if prop- erly used. HoweVer, care must be taken not to put boars in service at too young an age or to overwork them. Small litters could result. ' The nutrition-of the gestating Sew has a definite effect on litter ,siie. Overfeeding 'is one of the major. causes, of small litters; Saws'4and gilts should be restricted Ad 4 .to'5 pounds per day of a high energy ration. Feeding stalls assure each sow an equal • amount of feed. When a group of sows are fed on the floor the average consumption may be 5 pounds, but some .'"Boss" sows may receive too much, while shy, tim',d sows:may not receive enough. A Dead pigs at birth can 'be the result of nutrition or manage- ment factors or disease such as leptospirosis or' S..M. uses. If a large number 'of dead pigs occur, your veterinarian should be consulted. There can also be death losses during far- rowing. If farrowing takes an ex- cessively long time, steps should be taken to speed up the process and reduce death losses. The hor- mone oxytocin may be given if the sow is taking an abnormally long time to farrow, but care should be taken to ensure that no pigs are lodged in the birth canal. -Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low 'cost Expositor Want Ads.
